These dosas are a very healthy breakfast options and my family loves them especially with green chutney.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Urad dal

1/2 cup whole moong dal

1/2 cup bengal gram (chana dal)

1/2 cup arhar dal

1 cup rice

Salt to taste

1 pinch asofoetida

1 inch ginger

2 green chillies

Oil

Recipe:

Soak all dals and rice overnight. Drain out the water, mix them together and grind them into a fine paste. Add asofoetida, salt, chopped ginger and chopped green chillies. Heat a non stick pan, spread some oil on it and make medium sized and thin pancakes. Take it out when its cooked and crispy and serve with green chutney.

Mix wheat flour, refined flour and semolina, add milk,water and a pinch of salt and knead the dough. Keep aside. Heat 1 spoon oil in a pressure cooker, add cumin powder and asofoetida and moong dal, puor some water and pressure cook for a while. Take it out once cooked, let it cool and grind it. Add rest of the spices to make a nice filling. Now make small balls from the dough, fill the mixture and make round, flat circles with a rolling pin. Heat oil in a pan and fry the kachoris. Serve hot with green chutney or aloo (potato) ki sabzi.

After a lot of thinking over what should be my first recipe I though that since breakfast is the first and most important meal of the day, I should start with the same. So here's my quick recipe for corn patty or tikki as we call it in Hindi.

1 tspn finely chopped ginger

Salt to taste

Recipe:

Peel and mash the potatoes, add all the ingredients, mix well and make round patties. Heat oil in a pan and fry the patties till they turn golden. Serve hot with green chutney (recipe for that will follow).
